While at the office yesterday, I wanted to weigh in on a story that many of you have emailed and DM’d me about: Candida Auris. Let’s get into it… As always, headlines love to drum up a good panic, but context matters. Yes, Candida Auris is real, and it’s worth taking seriously, but this is primarily a “hospital and long-term care facility” problem, not a “check your grocery cart” one. What makes it worth watching isn’t just the fungus itself, it’s what it’s telling us. Organisms are adapting to survive the very medications built to kill them. That pattern shows up again and again, and it’s a bigger conversation than just one headline. Why is this happening? And at what point do we try something a little more natural?
